Welcome to our latest Kooth podcast!

When supporting our LGBTQIA+ loved ones, it can be difficult to know what to say.

Sometimes, you may not feel like your words are enough, or that your advice isn't relevant.

In our latest podcast, Beth and Sam talk about their own experiences, and pass on their advice to you.

Whether it's making someone feel comfortable, helping them while coming out, or simply just being a nice person, all sorts of topics are covered in this podcast. 

The theme of this year's Mental Health Awareness Week is loneliness.

During lockdown all our worlds became a lot smaller, and since it's been difficult for a lot of us to reconnect with our friends and family. 

So we're going to talk about how loneliness can affect our mental wellbeing as well as offer some of our tips for reforging connections and making new friendships.

Join Beth, Ben, and Dan for the chat.
